Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This free, leisurely-paced event is ideal if you're looking for classical chess without a major time crunch—each game gives you 90 minutes plus 30-second increments. With separate sections for players rated 1200+, 1600–1800, and 1800+, you can compete fairly against your peers over four rounds spread across three weeks. Perfect for Chicago-area players who want serious chess on a relaxed schedule without breaking the bank.
